True story. Life and work of a contemporary artist. A stirring story of one of the most famous artists written by one of the best art theoretists Tomáš Pospiszyl. Incredible revelations from the backstage of the present day art scene full of sex, intrigues and lack of money, accompanied by huge, coloured, shocking and nowhere published reproductions. Recommended to art school students as compulsory forbidding reading.

First independent catalogue by this young graduate of Prague’s Academy of Fine Art. The book summarizes his latest work as it reflects on the petty relations of the Czech art scene with its tooth-and-nail battles for the most visible positions. Curators are disposed of in shoot-outs and competing artists play football on one team.

The book shows the artist's intense production between 1995 and 2001. Jan Rous said about his mystical work: „Hísek's fantasy produces its own dream creatures but their basis is primarily conditioned in the light. They are born from the light to fight the darkness or even beat it, they are full of positive messages, essentially sacral contents.." The hardback book is full of large-format reproductions of Hísek's paintings and drawings with the foreword of Charlotta Kotíková, Otto M. Urban and Tomáš Pospiszyl. The artist himself accompanied his work with a few poetic texts.

In this book French photographer Petit, who now lives in Berlin, experiments with shadows and her body, mostly in black and white photography. "The image that a person projects, like a stream of light that shoots out from the borderland of shadows, in there lie the moments, no past and therefore no future. What is the present? It is the fruition of the traces of some locations, some kind of memories that a person doesn’t want to forget, maybe it is something like a log-book. And isn’t life something like this? My life."

This book by top Czech painter Igor Korpaczewski, who goes by the pseudonym KW and teaches at Prague’s Academy of Fine Arts, contains pictures and drawings from 1990 to 1997. The figural paintings of Korpaczewski explore the relationships between the conscious and unconscious, the power and the powerless. Figures in a hypnotic trance, representatives of unknown androids and supermen are confronted by world consumption and pop culture. Korpaczewski presents these figures as sad new-age gods.
